If some hadith are unreliable, doesn't that make the Quran unreliable too?

let's tackle a question that is immensely important okay so it is to do with this hadith and Quran okay I've had quite a few people say to me that you see you problematize Sahil Bihari which I do I don't say throw Sahil Bihari away but I say treat it like any other book of hadith and so each hadith must be judged upon its own merits if it contradicts if it clashes Milam you by email mark all it doesn't go against reason well I'm you knock Adel well let

me Holly filmin all it does not clash with the Quran or the living tradition Wellum are you naka de la Sol and it does not approach an Islamic principle then we will accept it so that's my point I believe that we need to scrutinize the mutton the much more than we have been doing the actual content of a hadith now some people have said well because you claim these systemic issues with some of the hadith are being transmitted why can't you say that about or on now and I've been sent a few different videos by different

people saying this by the way so I was sent a video by a scholar who usually I mean I find his stuff usually quite amusing and good it's he's I believe his name is Mawlana or it may be Musti monser Mengel from pakistan where he's got a a clip where he's speaking about where he says or what or Pirani sorry hwacha hadith II homra water Quran where he says that the people who transmitted the hadith all the people who transmitted the whole path so if you are going to weaken hadith then they by you

have weakened Quran this is the argument somebody sent me a clip by Dawa man saying the same thing which really that the old man is not a scholar so it's not that's not even irrelevant but some weights the same argument and we've heard quite a few other scholars saying this I've heard a few scholars saying this now so I want to address this point you see anybody who says this people first of all there's there's a few important points to make one is that these people have

not truly understood how the Koran was transmitted okay these people who are saying this they have just been institutionalized and they don't realize they haven't deeply actually fathomed how the Quran and how Islam and its tradition was transmitted and I will go through that in just a moment secondly I feel that it's such a shame such a shame that these people feel that they can strongarm somebody who questions who questions the authenticity

of certain hadith based on sound reason by throwing the Koran under the bus now I find that to be such a an act of cowardice that way you could not substantiate those particular hadith that are being questioned or you are being presented by a narrative of realism that look you thereby your only response is to throw the entire Quran under the bus in an attempt to save

Buhari I mean that is the most I find despicable and cowardly act done by Muslim scholars who truly lack an understanding of how this tradition was transmitted okay so so I'd like to clarify I'd like to expand allow me to elucidate expand elucidate see if I don't use these words people

say yah da Mosta couch but by me people will accuse me of not even being educated so one must resort to an expansive reply so right so okay so let's take a look at how was how was the Quran transmitted how was the Quran so people Islam when the Prophet lived amongst people and the Companions after him

there was a living tradition of Islam if we can call that a living tradition okay living tradition is what people will just teach parents will teach their children they will be it will just become a kind of folk practice it will just permeate through communities and societies it is part and parcel of the living tradition now the Quran was transmitted on mass like people you know they just taught it they taught it to their children they taught it to their neighbors they taught it to their

friends people conveyed the message of the Quran before the arrival or advent of institutionalization so as a natural as a Dean of fitrah the Quran was being transmitted so if I knew the Quran I would read it in my Salah I would read the Quran in my daily praise I would teach it to my children I might sometimes have a discussion on me this was just a natural living practice that people were passing on the Quran one could say from father to child okay

there was not an institutionalization to it it was just a natural tradition the other thing is and this is something nobody would really deny that Muslims were doing this I mean even non-muslim historians they acknowledge that yes they had this scripture they had this thing called the Koran secondly the horn by its nature ontologically by its essence okay is a Koran it's a recitation it's a recital of something it's not it's not prose it's not

something like here's a book right it's not a book like you just read like I'm just reading this book it was a recitation which meant it had a rhythmic essence to it so people would recite and we know that the Quran was preserved by memory so people would recite the Quran they would read it in in this Allah they would read it in during Ramadan in taraweeh it was being conveyed it was just being taught and this is how it

permeates through the communities it was just part and parcel of the living tradition of Islam now we have to pause that the pause posit people buzzing now we're going to come to this question of people who corrupt a message right so when people decide to interpolate when people decide to add to fabricate to manufacture a message there may be many motivations behind this many motivations
